I understand the die hard fans love of Zelda but personally as someone that did not grow up with it ... I thought it looked pretty but I got bored so fast... it's still so empty and slow... like every other Zelda game I have tried before it and ended up putting down after 3-4 hours... same as every other Zelda games. Meanwhile I loooove Mario 3D World and I still hope Nintendo brings it to switch!

I have not liked most of the series but I got this for xmas and to be honest I have not stopped playing it. I love running off and finding new things, the side quests are a bit get this for me and kill him for him but still have liked this and I didnt like Black Flag.... however tempted to try it again now

It's a Ubisoft game it's very much formulatic it's not bad they have changed a few things most notably the combat system. It feels a bit more RPG esque IMO it's a good game but there are better options if you want to sink a ton of time into a game. The story is not engaging IMO it's very fragmented I find myself not caring I'm more interested in upgrading my armor and weapons than following the main storyline there are a lot of fetch quests and busy work. The setting is cool very cool to look at an explore but the game it self is less engaging because the story hasn't clicked for me at least not yet. It's kind of problematic when I rather gather resources and upgrade my weapons and armor than follow the main storyline.

The entire game has been so fantastic. It's literally full of surprises and you can do whatever you want. I spent a half hour just scaring flocks of flamingos while controlling my Eagle Senu. I also got good enough at flying that I would fly in a v formation with other types of birds and just enjoy the amazing scenery. As for the grind, everything is pretty much about xp now so it's less of "the walk to the waypoint 20 times" to complete sequence 3 feeling. To get better gear you can either do missions, explore freely, go hunting, get in fights, finding all loot in a certain area also gives you bonus xp so you always feel rewarded for everything you decide to do. and you never feel like you're in the wrong place with nothing to do. There are always nooks and crannies to get lost in. Tons of moments that make you remember how awesome the game, and It's egypt setting are.

I still need to play Divinity. Looks so good. Just having trouble starting such a massive RPG... plus I'm balls deep in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and then Monster Hunter is right around the corner, ahhh too much to play too little time!

Got this for Xmas. After playing every game in the franchise I'd say this is average at best. I like that it doesn't feel like an AC game and is by far the best looking and more detailed, but the busy work is still there. Side quests are just fetch quests or bandit kill quests and the story isn't anything special. I also can't stand the fact this game isn't very rewarding and wants you to either grind or pay for a way out. But then again I like the fact it's harder and the combat system is way more refined.

I've played for over 50 hours and maybe just over half way through. Now I'm starting to get bored of jobbing in this game and just wanna complete it.

What is with this "walking simulator" mess I keep seeing people call games that involve....walking? Such a grossly oversimplified description of a video game like AC: Origins. Makes it sound like you do nothing but walk around. I don't get it.

BOTW is so damn boring !!! BOTW feels like a game which feels so tedious at times. Zelda can cut the grass with his sword that's the only plus for this so called 2017 GOTY. :P :P :P ACO is way better....
